Use case · Intercom → Linear

Intercom feedback to
your roadmap — automatically.

Distil reads every Intercom conversation, structures the feedback, and dedups against other channels. High-severity bugs file in Linear without asking. The patterns land in your Slack at 9am.

Your Intercom inbox isn't a feedback system.

Support handles each ticket. Then it's closed.

The pattern across 30 tickets — a real product issue — never makes it to anyone's desk. The closer is the end of the line.

Tags and saved replies aren't a roadmap input.

You can filter by “feature-request” tag, but you still need to read 50 conversations to spot what's actually trending.

The Intercom→Linear copy-paste loses everything.

One-line bug summaries in tickets become two-sentence Linear cards. The engineer who picks it up has no idea what the customer actually said.

The pipeline, in three steps.

1

Connect Intercom

OAuth in one click. Distil polls your inbox continuously. Filter by tag, team, or conversation state — internal notes excluded by default.

2

Distil structures every conversation

Full transcript extracted (not just first message). Problem statement, affected users, severity, frequency. Customer fields from Intercom feed into severity scoring — enterprise plan customers weigh more than free-tier signups.

3

Linear ticket files itself

Above your severity threshold? Direct to Linear with structured title, full context, and links back to every source Intercom conversation. Engineers click through to see the actual customer chat.

What ends up in Linear.
